trovafloxacin asciminib

Applies to: trovafloxacin and asciminib

Limited data suggest that chemotherapy with antineoplastic agents may reduce the plasma concentrations of oral quinolone antibiotics. The proposed mechanism is decreased quinolone absorption secondary to alteration of intestinal mucosa by cancer chemotherapy. In six patients with newly diagnosed hematologic malignancy, treatment with various antineoplastic agents (cyclophosphamide, cytarabine, daunorubicin, doxorubicin, mitoxantrone, prednisolone, vincristine) decreased the mean peak serum concentration (Cmax) and area under the concentration-time curve (AUC 0 to 4 hours) of ciprofloxacin by approximately 46% each. Data are not available for other quinolone antibiotics.

Drug and food interactions

Moderate

asciminib food

Applies to: asciminib

ADJUST DOSING INTERVAL: Food may reduce the oral bioavailability of asciminib. When a single 40 mg dose of asciminib was administered with a low-fat meal (400 calories; 25% fat) in healthy volunteers, asciminib peak plasma concentration (Cmax) and systemic exposure (AUC) decreased by 35% and 30%, respectively, compared to asciminib administered in the fasted state. Administration with a high-fat meal (1000 calories; 50% fat) decreased the Cmax and AUC of asciminib by 68% and 62%, respectively.

MANAGEMENT: To ensure adequate asciminib exposures, food consumption should be avoided for at least 2 hours before and 1 hour after taking asciminib.

Drug Interaction Classification

These classifications are only a guideline. The relevance of a particular drug interaction to a specific individual is difficult to determine. Always consult your healthcare provider before starting or stopping any medication.
Major Highly clinically significant. Avoid combinations; the risk of the interaction outweighs the benefit.
Moderate Moderately clinically significant. Usually avoid combinations; use it only under special circumstances.
Minor Minimally clinically significant. Minimize risk; assess risk and consider an alternative drug, take steps to circumvent the interaction risk and/or institute a monitoring plan.
Unknown No interaction information available.
